  1. But none of those is in portrait mode?
  2. Sure (well kinda...), but why does it have to be continuous, rather than discrete, to progress? Well, consider the real numbers between 0 and 1, inclusive. They're continuous, in that there are no "gaps" between numbers (to be more precise they're topologically connected), but they have a start and end. I don't know what you mean by "pre-time"; note that if time started with the Big Bang then it's not really meaningful to talk about "before", since that suggests an earlier time. Why do you say that? It surely didn't. Well if it makes you feel any better, nobody completely understands time. We know what role it plays in our theories of physics, and those theories seem to work, but AFAIK there's no definite answer to the question of why we experience time the way we do, namely as something that progresses. This may turn out to be explained by the working of our brains or it may turn out that some fundamental component is missing from our understanding of physics.
  3. Better if I don't start, I might not be able to stop.
  4. What makes you say that? Time is continuous according to established physics, but I don't see why it has to be - can't you imagine the universe working like e.g. a cellular automaton, such as Conway's GoL? Unless you're using the word in a non-standard way, "continuous" doesn't mean "without start or end"; according to standard Big Bang cosmology time both is continuous and started at some point. Again, established physics says that the universe did come into existence, but a priori the fact that we are here doesn't mean the universe had to have come into existence - why couldn't it just have been here forever?
  5. I just ordered the CD of Gescom - Minidisc from Bleep: It now claims to be out of stock, so I may have got the last one.
  6. Well?
  7. How about those photos, Radi? Would be good to see the same light photographed in both portrait and landscape mode for comparison.
  8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWbTQb6mmbg Hard to believe that it's possible to improve Treale, but someone might actually have done it.
  9. I get error messages from SC too, but I find refreshing the page usually works - have you tried that?
  10. Sometimes I think you do this on purpose, Radi.
  11. Have you ever seen a lightning storm from above?
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK9xMMxJpdw
  13. Amazing work.
  14. That's hardly unique to electronic music, though is it?
  15. Sounds more like a dubstep/hardhouse/hardcore crossover than a dubstep/hiphop crossover to me.
  16. Yes, provided the bus/train isn't too crowded and has a WC.
  17. Sounds more jazzy than your usual work.
  18. I've never used Emacs. This video series will give you a good idea of the kind of things you can do in Sublime, if you're interested. e: The Minimap is a nice feature. Yesterday, while trying to put off work, I stitched together some screenshots of the Minimap for my music software. Here's the whole thing:
  19. I'm learning to use Sublime Text. It's pretty sweet.
  20. When you get back to Germany and take more photos we'll have some more data with which to evaluate your theory about the light. My guess is that it's caused by the light reflecting off microscopic ridges in the lens caused by wiping it; if that's the case then the lines that emanate from light sources in your photos will be at the same angle relative to the long edge of the photos, independent of whether the photos are taken in portrait or landscape mode. If instead the lines are at the same angle relative to the lamppost then my guess will have been wrong. But there's not much more I can think to say until we can check.
  21. ^ Not too bad, I like the sound at the beginning but the rest of the track is just kinda forgettable.
  22. Whut the fak Does someone care to post one of his tracks?
  23. I used to a lot, but not very often now. When I do though it's staggering how much better the music sounds.
